Back in 1984 we used a strip of freeway in San Jose, CA as a drag strip. We would just get on highway 85 in the middle of the night, park in the first 2 lanes, and go for it. There was no traffic! I remember drifting sidways at a certain curve in the road at a hundred and something in my '72 340 Challenger...it was a blast having no "end" to the 1/4 mile track. Too bad the highway was not banked.

I was less mature then and had a couple of fun races through the hills with the local law enforcement on my tail. I did not get caught or I'd probably still be in jail. My two craziest friends later joined the local police force...
